[Histonet] GHS vs. NFPA labeling

[Jeanne Blanchard]

I believe you can purchase the new GHS labels and just affix them to your reagents that don't already have them.

Subject: [Histonet] GHS vs. NFPA labeling

So I have a question about the labelling of chemicals.  I understand that new liquid chemicals must have the GHS labels, and I noticed some of our dry chemicals also have the new GHS labelling.  What about old dyes and other dry chemicals that are still good but do not have the GHS labels but have the old NFPA labels?  As most of you know dyes are expensive and most are very old and still work great.   So I want to clarify this before we go crazy and start trashing dry chemicals and dyes.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.
